I have been in a long distance relationship once in my life. A lot of my friends discouraged me to continue because it requires a lot of effort and trust. Well, we broke up after two years but I never regret doing it. True, it was difficult and stressful, but then again, its better to try than just to quit because of fear, right?

Yes you said it right love bridges distance. I have my my fiancee when I was very far working and she's in Manila. We started with hi and heloo and until now it's still us. But really went to Manila so we can be closer and until now it's still us. Now were in our second year almost. When we think of it were we stated it makes both of us laugh. Each passing day I love her more and don't wanna be far away from her anymore. Have a nice day to you!

You're right, long distance relationships require more trust than a normal relationship. But, they can work and they do work for some people. The distance actually makes them long for one another more. I have several friends who are involved in long distance relationships and they work out fine most of the time. But, with like any relationship, there will be problems. You just have to burn that bridge when they get there.

Sorry to break it to you, but there's no such thing a long distance relationships unless you see other people, because that is what's really going on.

Most of my relationships had approximately a two hour drive or a two flight for the distance. For me they worked out great. We had our independence and we also really looked forward to seeing each other.
However, both of those relationships ended and I am now engaged. My fiance and I live in the same city and practically live together. I do say that living in the same area makes it easier both logistically and financially. Plus we have such an emotional closeness that I've never had with anyone before.

congratulations on your engagement :)
i think it is always best to stay or at least be closer with the partner, if its possible.
its quite true about the financial factor in long distance relationship lol i think every simple thing you want to do requires much more. like sending stuff or letter and cards, not to mention the air fare and hotel accomodation. the nice thing though is it seems your always on honeymoon :)

i don't claim to know much about long distance relationships, because i've never been to such situation.
But, i agree with your point of trying, as they say: "It is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.." =)
